Damm, Im feeling old again...

Not only was I there when TFC debuted as the very first HL MOD, I was also there when 'Natural Selection' launched their first playable build. It was impossible to play duriong the first night, every server had ping over 500, a nightmare.

I really hope these guys make this one sell, it is truly innovative when it came out and im surprised their core gameplay has not been copied by other games.

HL1 mods...STEAM wasn't even talked about... good times, simpler times.

I have never liked shooters much, but when Natural Selection was out I played it so much. I just loved being the aliens. I will be all over this if the game if the basics (alien players vs human players) remain intact.

Upon second viewing, it really drives home how badass the new Onos is. I wonder if they have a minigame for people being digested in it's stomach this time?

Holy shit. Natural Selection was one of the best Half-Life 1 mods next to They Hunger and Science and Industry.

How did I not know this was coming? Damn!

@Archaotic: That Ohno only makes the name more fitting, too. This teaser is the most exciting bit of gaming news this year.

@Pombar:

I wouldn't go that far, with Dead Rising 2 and Demon's Souls and a lot of other stuff. But it's still good news.

@Archaotic: Well, gaming news for me, it's hit that spot. Dead Rising 2 has yet to really get my blood boiling, and Demon's Souls hasn't really grabbed me (blame it on not having a PS3 if you want, it could well be a large factor). I just feel like it's been a slow news year thus far, and this is the only thing to really have me bouncing up and down in my chair.

Yes. The original Natural Selection was the best time I had with competitive shooters pre-TF2 - and I still think it's the better game. Of course, this hitting 360 is highly unlikely, but it'd be the only thing that'd make this more exciting to me.

@ithyphallus of his own will recommends Kotaco! [twitter.com]: It didn't at all, but in Pombar's defense, maybe since the original NS was a Half-Life mod, and since recently The Orange Box and Left 4 Dead came out on 360, somehow this might as well.

But yeah, there's really no connection. Independent PC developers really do not have the extra coin to also port their game to consoles.

@nworobes: That was my line of thinking, but while I'd sincerely wish for it to come out on 360, I hold no real hopes of it ever doing so.

@Pombar: 4 people developing their own engine from the ground-up and a game on top of it for PC? Realistic, often happens, and thanks to Steam, a capable and widespread distribution method.

Those same for people also porting said to the 360? You're frakking nuts if you think that's remotely possible for a game like this.

@dLMN8R: Not according to SideAngleSide, but as I said, I didn't think it was remotely possible. It was a wistful pipe dream said as an aside to my fanranting about it.

@SideAngleSide: oh, here it is:

"We will initially release NS2 on Windows (through our web-site and through Steam). After that we plan to bring it to the Mac and the Xbox 360. Maybe even Linux."
